Saratoga Hospital Completes $1 Million Update of Mental Health Unit

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Saratoga Hospital recently completed a more than $1 million update of its mental health unit, creating a safer, more healing patient environment.

The newly renovated unit combines the latest, most effective safety measures with aesthetic changes—including new lighting and more attractive, modern furnishings—that can have a positive impact on the patient experience.

“The environment plays an important role in building the trust and comfort that are essential to providing patient-centered, trauma-informed care,” said Janice Prichett, the hospital’s executive director of behavioral health, in a statement. 

The renovations took 18 months in part because of the challenges of replacing floors, walls and ceilings during the pandemic. All that remains are some final finishing touches, including a mural and other artwork, according to the hospital.
